In Prep/Grade 1 we have started our inquiry unit about patterns and have been discovering that patterns are everywhere! Andrew showed us some beautiful patterns on feathers and challenged the class to find their own patterns in nature to bring in and share. The students have brought in a wonderful variety of natural objects with different patterns, including flowers, leaves, grass, shells, pinecones and rocks. We have also been investigating the patterns found in beehives and in the ocean environment. We are looking forward to learning more about patterns throughout the term and deepening our understanding of how patterns help us make sense of the sequences in life.

Robot Man

When Robot Man came to visit, we were challenged to build miniature railway lines and had the opportunity to experiment with basic coding to make the trains move around the track. It was lots of fun!
